Baby seems overtired ???

Question

How do you tell if your baby is over tired? My 5 month old during the day constantly rubs his eyes like he is sleepy or he’s cranky a lot! He won’t nap long at all though!! I have no idea what to do I’m tired of him always feeling fussy ): !! 
What’s a good nap schedule guys? I really really NEED one. Drop advice below please

Answer

Mine has definitely started doing this too. I've got her on a loose nap schedule of every 2 hours or so which seems to be helping. The eye rubbing is usually a good clue shes ready to go up for one. I put her up in her crib for all of them, she usually fights it at first but eventually passes out. I will go in and console her at the 5 minute mark if she is still losing it though lol. Sometimes she will nap 30 minutes, sometimes closer to 2 hours. I have found the naps really help to keep her from having a total meltdown though, as long as I catch them in time lol

Answer

Babe is only awake 11/2 hours between naps. This is what I got off respectful sleep training facebook page and follow it. Many try crib hour too.

Answer

My baby still takes irregular naps (40-90 minutes) so I just try to put her down after 2-3 hours of wake time, and watch her moods. When she starts whining or avoiding eye contact then I get her into her sleep sack and put her down for a nap.

Answer

I keep her on a wake time of about every 2 hours, so I put her down for a nap about 2 hours after she wakes up
